METHOD OF FREIGHT CAR BRAKE OPERATION CONTROL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B61H11/02 B61K7/02 B61H13/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport, particularly, to freight train brake systems. Proposed method consists in charging the brake with compressed air and braking by increasing and decreasing air pressure in brake line, and locking braking cylinder rod after braking. Then, in car motion independent of locomotive, the brake is charged and released, air exhaust from brake line is stopped by shutoff element to impart kinetic energy to the car. Note here that braking is carried out in zone of expected stop by interaction of said shutoff element with actuator pre-arranged in said zone.

EFFECT: higher safety and integrity in operation.
